79 die in Libya from homemade alcohol

The top security official in Libya's capital said March 12 that 79 people have died over the past four days from drinking homemade alcohol, suspected of containing poisonous methanol. Authorities are searching for two people believed to be involved in making the poisonous drinks and are looking into whether it was the methanol or bad fermentation that caused the large number of victims. The sale and consumption of alcohol is banned in the conservative North African country. Like illegal drugs elsewhere, some Libyans turn to black market dealers to buy alcohol, which is often cooked in homes or deserted farms. (AP)
